ila ukiifungua hakuna kitu, ni hewa ilhali kuna watu wanalipwa. Watoto wetu wale wanasomea utabibu na udaktari, juzi walisema, ‘jameni, tusaidieni, tunaomba tu kitu kidogo.’ Lakini leo, Katibu Mkuu wetu amesema kuwa kwenye gari lake tu, ameekewa fedha ngapi ya kupita Nairobi Expressway? Kusema kweli, Kenya kuna vitu vingi sana vimeanguka. Mhe. Rais umeambiwa hicho kikoi chako kiko wazi. Utafanya nini? Kubali useme ni hivi na vile na mimi niko tayari. Tumeona kwa runinga Mhe.

Naona muda wangu ni mdogo. Nikianzisha chochote kile, hatutaweza kumaliza. Mwisho basi namuelezea Mhe. Rais ya kwamba mkuki kwa nguruwe, kwa mwanadamu mchungu. Ujue hii damu ya wale watoto itakudhuru wewe na watoto wako na vizazi vyako. Kama leo huwezi kutoka nje na kukubali kila na kuomba msamaha wale watu wamefiwa, leo ...

Psychological counselling, supporting groups and community education can help women cope with the emotionally draining aftermath of fistula and reduce stigma.

He said that there should be no limitation for bribes. I thank you, Sen. Cherarkey, for your hearty contribution. It was quite handy. I ...
